Vedclass · Answer

(D) The heart consists of four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. The atria are receiving chambers and have relatively thin walls. The ventricles are pumping chambers and have thicker walls than the atria. Among the two ventricles,the left ventricle has the thickest wall because it must pump oxygenated blood to the entire body through the systemic circulation,which requires high pressure. Therefore,the left ventricle is the chamber with the thickest wall.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$a$. Superior Vena Cava	$p$. Carries deoxygenated blood towards the lungs
$b$. Inferior Vena Cava	$q$. Carries oxygenated blood away from the lungs
$c$. Pulmonary Artery	$r$. Brings deoxygenated blood from lower body parts to the right atrium
$d$. Pulmonary Vein	$s$. Brings deoxygenated blood from upper body parts to the right atrium
